This book really isn’t so good… The first 150 pages is used to really show how the AUTHOR thinks of things, and HIS filosophies… (sp?) Then the meditation, its shown pretty good on 20 pages, and thats it. Then there are all the history and stuff once more! Sure, it learned me to meditate, but i could have saved countles hours if someone just said “close your eyes, repeat a word in your mind, and you got it” instead of reading all this stuff, which i dont even agree with!

I was expecting a rudimentary course on the subject of meditation. Something that would be clear and coherent and easy for a novice to understand. I wasted my money. This book is hard to keep in your hands, easy to lose focus. Not at all what I expected

The book itself was a good introduction, however I felt it didnt grab me, as a reader , well enough. Difficult to explain , I guess I can say the book didn’t really grab my attention and make me want to go and meditate.
However, this book was a good introduction to meditation. If you already understand the fundamentals of meditation and know the background, I suggest you skip the book, otherwise go ahead and check it out, its worth it!

The style of meditation described in this book is much too complicated. Meditation, to be effective, has to be effortless. Maharishi is the top expert in this area. There is a good reason why TM, transcendental meditation, is so popular with millions of practioners having learned over the last 50 years.

too much abstract stuff on the leading chapters ; always talking about how meditation practice will do you good … Well, I already know meditation is very good , O.K.? Just tell me what to do and how to do
! procedures ! guys ! what we dummies need is procedures ! When I finally reach the chapters about procedures I had been very far away from ” awareness” and instead I was in a state of ” drowsiness ” ! Dummy people like myself definitely need a more concise book .
